Psychobiotics in Health, Longevity, and Neurological Disorders

Gut Microbiota, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

Psychobiotics are an emerging class of probiotics that, when ingested in ample amounts, confer mental health benefits through interacting with gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota in patients with psychiatric problems. These mind-altering groups of probiotics modulate the functions and behavior of the central nervous system via the gut–brain axis to improve GI health and exert anxiolytic and […]

The gut microbiota-brain axis, psychobiotics and its influence on brain and behaviour: a systematic review

Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Gut-Brain axis, Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

The gut microbiota is the set of microorganisms present in the gut, and it is connected to the central nervous system via the gut-brain axis. Despite there is not a definitive description of the eubiotic microbiota architecture, numerous studies have demonstrated its involvement in human behaviour and its relationship with several pathologies. This is a systematic review about the association between dysbiosis on

Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 prevents cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease mice by modulating propionic acid levels, glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta activity, and gliosis

Probiotics, Prebiotics and Symbiotics /

According to recent evidence, psychobiotics exert beneficial effects on central nervous system-related diseases, such as mental disorders. Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 (PS128), a novel psychobiotic strain, improves motor function, depression, and anxiety behaviors. However, the psychobiotic effects and mechanisms of PS128 in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remain to be explored. Objectives The goal of the current study was to

Psychobiotics—live microorganisms with potential mental health benefits, which can modulate the microbiota-gut-brain-axis via immune, humoral, neural, and metabolic pathways—are emerging as novel therapeutic options for the effective treatment of psychiatric disorders Recently, microbiome studies have identified numerous putative psychobiotic strains, of which short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) producing bacteria have attracted special attention from neurobiologists. Recent

Role of the Intestinal Microbiome, Intestinal Barrier and Psychobiotics in Depression

Ayahuasca, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Gut Permeability / Leaky Gut /

Additionally, it is known that, in periods of excessive activation of stress reactions, the immune system also plays an important role, negatively affecting the tightness of the intestinal barrier and intestinal microflora. In this review, we have summarized the role of the gut microbiota, its metabolites, and diet in susceptibility to depression. We also describe
